Should India Forgive Evan Spiegel?

Snapchat’s CEO Evan Speigel made a huge blunder when he said that Snapchat is only for rich countries and not for poor countries like India. Indians all across the globe have been hurt by this comment and have taken to the Play Store and App Store to put negative ratings and bad one star reviews for the App.

In the Indian App Store, the current ratings stands at just 1 star with a total of over 39,000 reviewing the App. For WhatsApp, India is top priority and the company is launching new features specifically for the Indian market first to cater to its large user base. For Snapchat, India serves as one of its largest user base with the youth of the country using the App everyday.

If India does not forgive Evan Spiegel and boycotts Snapchat, it will be one of the biggest blows to the company. We feel the founder should render an apology and if done, Indians must forgive the company.
